N wiry man of $2, quick with a
quip and quite sensible until he begins
taking about communism or other so-

clal issues. He has thy face and bear. ;

ing of a Prussion officer, an image he
cultivated by wearing a musiache and
accasionally a mosocie. He often
dresses in military clothing of indeter-
minate origin, and he embellishes the
image by talking In slightly ellpped
sentences peppered» with military
Phrases. There is nothing phony in

this, WerBell has a strong attachment ;
to weapons and to warfare, and he hos .
“ been around them so ‘long that the ;

ideas and styles théy foster are an in-
grained part of his personality.

of his ageney and then formed his
own public relations firm. “I'd already
deen drifting into international PR"
WerBell says, “using my family back-
ground. I had tremendous contacts in

Europe, and. I moved into the Far

who had both the savvy and the guts
to help preserve them.

His first major paramilitary opera-
tlon was in the Dominican Republic
during the 1965 revolt. He was, of
course, on the side of the government,
which was fending off allegedly Com-
munist ‘insurgents; the United States
was on Its side, too. WerRell wound up
in the midst of the fighting. He was
the second Dominican sovernment
mian to reach the Ozama River, secne
of the majar battle, : .

Elsworth Bunker, then U.S. ambas-
sador to the Orzanization of American
States, became highly exercised over

WerBell's activities and his hawkish .

views on the conflict (WerBel! opposed
@ cessation of hostilities and establish:
ment of a coalition government).
Bunker considered trying 10 toss
WerBell out-of the country, but noth
ing came of it. Werbell’s “independent
group"--CIA, Texas millionaires or
whatever—saw to that.

WerBell was already active in the
anti-Castro movement, and he brousht
ta it a sense of dash and discipline that
the ragtag, bickering bunch of Cuban
exiles had seldom seen. Perhaps his
major antt-Castro exploit wasa speed:
boat foray into Camarioca, on Cuba's
Southern coast, The mizsion. was to
drop a swimmer, apparently a spy, off
shore, and toa pick up the family of an
exile leader, The boat, flying: the Con-
federate flag on the radio antenna,
foundered in high seas, and the raiding
party was captured. The Cubans, the -
Story gocs. did not know what to make
of the brash WerBell, and he and his
pals wound up stealing a Castro boat
and spiclting some 6 ont Castroite:,

and | continued to do so. | felt that this
was @ Very amateurish attempt at some-

_ thing which [ didn't know really what

was going on, and it was an interlude of
entertainment as far as I'm concerned.”
. The role he plaved is also unclear,
From the point that CHS entered the sit-
uation in May of 1966. WerBell appeared
at various times ‘to be a network consul-
tant. a CIA operative. a CIA operative
impostor, a leader of the invasion, a U.S.
fovernment spy on the invasion, a gun-

‘minner and a wired-for-soungd observer in

an attempt to shake down the Haitian
consul in Miami for $200,000 to calt off
the invasion. .

Suffice it to say that the entire episode
was typified by tne fact that the 68-foot
sloop Poor Richard, 9 beat WerBell had
leased for the expedition, was repossessed
while Werdell and others had it docked
at the Ocean Reef motel in Key Largo.

the U.S. government
raided the training area for the would:be—

Nevertheless,

- WerBell now declines to discuss the

mechanics of how the charges against

him were dropped, except lw- say that he
was “in constant contact with the govern-
ment” during his participation in. the in-
vasion attempt and that he “did nothing

’ wrong.” In 1970, however, WerBell told

an .Atiants magazine writer, “When you
work for the company, they take care of
you.” _ .

“The company” is generally used a3.a
euphemism for the Central Intelligence

Agency — an arm of government WerBell

says now he has never had anything to do
with, except to sell it some guns. The
compary he was talking about, he says,
was CBS. Over the years, however, Wer-
Bell has spoken often. of his association
with the Company. Producer McMullen
quoted WerBell to the congressmen as say-
ing he had “previous experience’ with “the

" company:” “And when I asked him what
company he meant, he said the ClA,” Me-

Mullen said.

“Everybody always gets that impression
about any goddam thing we do,” WerBell
says. It is a conclusion that is neither
difficult nor illogical. it may not, however,
be accurate. ’

But what, then, was Mitch WerBell.
wearing camouflage fatigues and a shoul.
der-holstered rocket pistol. doing in the
lead tank — which is where he claims he
was —.in the Dominican Republic that
summer of 1365 as government forces dou-
ble-timed it to the .Ozama River? The
tanks were attempting to capture as much
territory as possible before a noon cease-
fire took effect; instead, they were beaten
back by ill-armed rebels.at the bridge.

oe what eras

1968-with what WerBell claims was “the

simutated-rank of major-general” supplied

~ by the U.S. Air Force as he demonstrated

his : firm's revolutionary silenced sub-
machine gun to a South Vietnamese gener-
al?

To quéstions such as these, WerBell’s
standard reply is. “I guess I'm just lucky.”
More than just tuck, however, WerBell’s
propensity for being in'the crucial place
at the crucial time seems to stem from 8
combination of machismo, the profit mo-
tive, a knack for developing suns Gtly rad-
ical weaponry and a plug-in to the Oid Boy
Network.

The Old Boy Network — “And don't you
ever kid yourself that there isn't such @
thing,” says WerBell — is the cloak-and-
dagger types’ answer to the union hiring
halt. It is a loosely structured help want-

- ed-situation wanted grapevine. “I became

friends with a bunch of guys who are now
four- and five-star generals,” recalls Wer-
Bell of his days as an OSS captain behind
Japanese fines in World War I. .

Meemorabitia of the OSS days and sub-
sequent adventures hang in WerBell’s
home and in his psyche. The walls of both
his upstairs den and’ downstairs ‘war
room” are decorated with dozens of hunt-
ing (upstairs) and military (downstairs)
weapons, Six unsheathed swords are
mounted cn the door of the liquor cabinet.
Two glass display cases in the den, each
locked, contain handguns ranging. from

- standard .45 automatics to single-shot

assassination pistols. Daggers, bayonets
and throwing knives ‘fill the in-between
spares as bric-a-brac. Photographs of
short, slant-eved generals hang on walls
and stand on tables. Between two wild boar
heads above the den entrance is a framed
certificate from the Vietnamese Airbome.

The biggest war souvenir, though, isn't
on WerBeil’s wall. It is in his head — the
way a man of 55 acts after more than 20
years of being in and on the fringes of vio-

ient conflicts. Some of it, obviously, is ©

affectation. Some of it is gemuine. And
some of it just seems strange to sn outsider

Abaco and the such, recently visited Wer-
Bell in Powder Springs, WerBell said. -
‘While there are some people who. admire
Namboyance auch as WerBell's,. there are

others wo don't. Among those others are

WerBell’s former business associates, a
group of New York investment bankers
who bought WerBeill and Bennett B.
Bintliff, an associate, out of the Military
Armament Corp. (MAC) that' the pair had
founded. “He's been headline press all over
England, ond we're just « quict little man-
ufacturing company,” said Resser Scott
Reeves II}, chairman of the board of MAC's
parent company, Quar.tum Corp. “He's a
loudmouth. Basically, when you ‘te dealing
with 9 country, the country would liane iu
see responsible executives who are discreet,
who will transact business — not tell war
stories.” ;

Reeves, however, says he doesn't dislike
WerBe!ll — he just doesn't want to be
associated with him in the arms business.
“T like him a great deal. He's amusing and
he's a character. But letting him run Colt
or letting him run MAC is Like turning
Joose a high. school hot. todder to: mn
General Motors."

WerBell_ and his associates in Powder
Springs have now reincorporated under the
name of Defense Systems International
Inc. and have hired away several of MAC's
former weapons specialists. They are not
overly fond of Reeves and his people either.

“Tunnel vision” is one phrase they use to
describe MAC's preoccupation with gun.
sales. .

Defense Systems International, they
say, docs not suffer from such tunnel vi-
sion. They are deeply involed in
Rocpoliiics — whatever geupolitics are.
And from the list of activities that WerBelt
and his partners tick off, geopolitics seems
to be about anything they want it to be:
arms sales, military advice. investment
banking, economic development, security
work, public relations, international law-
yering.

The pedple who hire the firm, WerBell
Says, “are interested in an organization
that’s capaole of doing the political,

in 22 different countries. If somebody said
to us tomorrow, "We need 8 complete’ gov-
erofhealthtoa

could ‘do it.”

Just how much demand there is for pre-
_packaged governments — or how much ca-
pability Defense S tems: International has
- for providing‘them-— is untertain. What

the firma would appear tc have an obvious
‘capacity for, however, is warfare: [ts presi-
dent and chief. administrator is WerBell's
son-in-law, Paul Routhier, a retired U.S,
Air Force leutenant-culonel who also dou-
_ bles as the company's air-waer expert. On
the staff are various other ex-military
types, renging fer s Marine sergeant to
several retired colonels. Among its activi-
ties, says Routhier, is the sale to smaller,
U.S.-approved nations of armament pack-
ages, including not only hardware but also
training. | :

Wr Defense Systems International
. does not do, its principals insist, is to make
wars, or shoot people themselves. If they
did, they say, they could go to jail for vio-
lating US. neutrality laws. Nur does it sell
the guns to showt peaple with, unless the
U.S. State Department approves, they say.
And the State Department isn’t about to
approve the sale.of any arms by WerBel! to
the Abaconian secessicnists. No matter,
says WerBell. “We have no intention of
arming Abaco in any shape or fashion.
Anyway, they have more arms down there
than we have here.”

So whs, then, is there a Photograph
Iying about of the Hon. W. E. Errington
(Eric) Watkins, a member of the Bahami-
an Parliament from Abaco, clenching 4
cigar between his teeth and test-firing one
of WerBell’s silericed submachine guns?

lencer, makes’ about as mitch noise. as an

electric typewriter. :
- The novelty of W erBell’

aside, however, there remain “thonuentony

of how WerBell got involved with-the Free _

Abaco faction, ‘what he is doing for it ard...

how he is getting paid.
The leadership of:the Council fora Free

_ Abaco appears to be composed oft wo mea,

Nassau ‘I'V- and radio-store owner, is a:
direct descendant of the white Tories who.
settled Abaco immediately after the Amer-
ican Revolution rather than be separated
from the British Crown. He savs he was
referrvd to WerHell through persons he met .
while organizing 4 demonstration against
allowing Air Cuba’ to service the Nassau
airport. “The people f met there, basically
right-wing. were able to put me on to Wer-
Bell.” Hall is secretary of the council.

With a budget that they wil descnbe ao
more specifically than to say it is less than
350,000 and made up entirely of small con-
tributions from Bahamians, the group is

it was necessary to establish such a

Reference: Port Louis 12011, 17 May 1973.

-.. 1. There are no Headquarter's traces on Dr. George A. Winkler,
but there are traces on, the Military Armament Corporation and its
Board Chairman, Mr. Mitchell Livingston WerBell III (201-259910).

In 1967 WerBell Organized a firm called SIONICS, Incorporated
| (Studies in Operational Negation of Insugency and -Counter Subversion),

-Specializing in producing silencers. In 1970, Werbell Bstged with

Quantum Ordnance Bankers and the new firm was named the Military —

reputation and, although it may have permission from NVIDEA to export

6. Vuture Operations

At the end of Phase V the “icTsT should have proved
itself as one at the vost effective counter - insurgency programs ‘.
“available, .to the RIG. as an-example,’ in 6 months operations
* "the 72 snipers “of the u. 9th Division attained. over 600
confirmed kills, ‘the majotity 0 of which were. made at night with

the Meld. rifie/starlight scope/SIONICS-H#A#-12 sunpressor combin-.

ation. In. .effecting this admirable record, “1.37 cartridges

‘hu the current cost of 28¢ for. one

_were. expended’ per, kal.
National. atch cartridge,” ‘this averages to 386 per xii. this

is obviously an oversinpli ication, but. ait highlights an ‘extrenely

“S -Buceessful ‘and -economical iretho of countering comminist terrorism

"along: the . borders of ‘hailand.

a AS. a final. note, this typ e of operation is as yet
in its nascent stages. Complete operational techniques that will

result, from execution of the 12 month NCTTT will. uridoubtedly

disclose additional and more ‘effective techniques of killing or

neutralizing ‘conmunist terrorists in Thailand and will contribLute

border areas.
